Borderline Personality (BPD) Therapists in Brookline, MA
I am an Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) trained therapist with a specialty in trauma, and I enjoying working with both individuals and couples. My goals include helping you (and your partner) to figure out what is keeping you stuck in unhelpful patterns, thoughts, and behaviors and, at the same time, to achieve the self-understanding and peace that you are seeking — and deserve. Often, in our work together, we will try to become acquainted with the “emotional blueprint” created during your childhood, as it may hold the keys for us to better understand how you engage with both yourself and others.

I understand that symptoms and problems have meaning and I help patients to come to understand this meaning. Therapy loosens the forces that bind people to ways of living that have become unsatisfying. I seek to help patients understand themselves in a deep and complex way so that life becomes more free, more enriched, and more meaningful.

With new insights, your ability to take action will increase.

Hi, and welcome. For many people, the decision to get help can be a difficult one. I see your visit to my profile as a sign of strength and a refusal to give up. Loneliness, the inability to enjoy life, excessive worry or fear, anxiety in social situations, unhappiness or problems in personal, professional or marital relationships, not knowing what to do personally or professionally, even substance "abuse" and PTSD are issues that are interpersonal, not biological. They can be overcome within a genuinely understanding, compassionate, active, and patient therapeutic relationship.

I see psychotherapy as a place where healing, insight and meaningful change can take root. I help clients deepen awareness of their thoughts, feelings and behaviors so they can shift the patterns that hold them back from a more fulfilling and intentional life. I believe everyone has the capacity to grow and create a life worth living, and the therapeutic relationship is central to that process. I offer a warm, caring and compassionate environment where clients feel supported as they work toward their goals.

Are you or a family member struggling with an addiction, loss, stressful job or other personal concern?
As an active and engaging therapist, I have observed that when the chemistry between therapist and client works, the process of therapy can provide a multitude of results: curbing self-destructive patterns of behavior, providing relief from painful emotions, increasing productivity at work, increasing behavioral control and achieving greater meaning in one's life.
I believe that these meaningful changes occur when there is a joint process of discovery in which the
therapist attends to the expressed needs and goals of the client.

I believe we grow, become more authentic, and overcome barriers to meaningful living when we allow ourselves to say everything on our minds in a containing and supportive environment. In doing so, we can gradually confront and free ourselves from long-standing, maladaptive behaviors and habits of mind while uncovering new insights about our deeper selves, memories, repressed desires, and dreams for the future. As this process unfolds, we find that we suffer less, are now freer for what we desire, more present with others, and more creative in our ways of living.

What brings you in - and what might you want to work on? What unique values, heritages, cultures, spirituality, and hopes do you bring in?
For my practice, I hope to accompany persons into the fullness of human experiencing (amidst grief, loss, injustices, suffering, desire, hope, and the like). Thus, our goal will not just be symptom-alleviation nor skills-building. Rather, our aim will be towards change and transformation: to live into your unique values, purpose, and a "life-worth-living" with oneself, others, and the world.

Psychotherapy is most effective when built on a trusting relationship. My goal is to create a space where you feel deeply understood, accepted, and genuinely enjoyed for who you are. From that foundation of safety and trust, we can begin to explore the parts of yourself that may feel confusing, painful, or difficult to face alone.

My therapy work is largely focused on people actively engaged in affecting the world around them; including those active in social change efforts; entrepreneurs; and researchers, teachers, and technical and supervisory professionals. I help those concerned about promoting social change to work on their personal issues in a climate supportive of their activism. I am also aware of the difficulties researchers and other professionals sometimes feel in psychotherapy that may feel alien. I bring this awareness to therapy, while helping those involved in administrative roles navigate the complexities of working with others who sometimes have very different personal styles.

I am a licensed psychologist who is trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy. Patients who come to me are looking to understand the significance and meaning of their most difficult-to-solve problems—problems like anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relational struggles, and self-harm. They are often patients who have not had success with short-term and/or cognitive therapies, and they have a sense that their struggles signify something more than mere dysfunction—that their problems point to something unique and unknown about themselves.
